Block Programs
CX-Programmer supports the ability to enter a rung in statement list format – useful for block programs.

There is no restriction on the length of a statement list program apart from that which
Windows may apply.

in error (the error bar on the rung margin).
3. To complete the editing, press ‘Escape’ which will exit from editing mode.
